The first person to hang for witchcraft in Salem was Bridget Bishop. This is her story. It is also the larger story of the fear that caused otherwise intelligent persons to take leave of their senses and commit horrible acts in the name of preventing horrible acts. This book looks at Bridget Bishop the real person, not the idealized personification of her that so many have presented. It also looks at the attributes that made Bishop the ideal person to be the first to go to the gallows at Salem. In addition, this book considers why the execution of Bishop caused the floodgates of execution to open in Salem, whereas, an acquittal may well have caused an end to the witch fever in the town.

Very informative and well recorded for an AI presentation. Our world still has people who find a fault in other people based on their own ignorance.

The mob mentality of that time
